Hi…all Vara bros, Peace…

 

 

when can see we see "Demonstration Arrow" ?

..its already with me but haven’t install yet. still awaiting paper approval. probably settle by end of this month. anyway, cant help notice this small red paper slip stuffed inside the baffle / muffler. claim it’ll increase performance if the internal part is removed. too bad, cant do that on home ground. not worth it. heard got to return back $300~$500 dividend if get booked.

 

but then… come coast to coast tour, will give that a try.

 

 

 

….. Always adjust idling speed when bike is fully warm up

Stargate >> thats interesting. cos’ mine need one only after every spark plug change. often slightly on the low side @ 1.2~1.3k rpm range.

 

 

 

..my idling speed is usually between 1800-2000rpm.. how to adjust idling speed?

Nejihyuuga >> ... a bit on the high side. indirectly may affects fuel consumption. ideally as recommended @ 1.5k rpm range. to adjust; look for the idling knob. turn (ccw-decrease / cw-increase) accordingly and go easy with it. hold a second or two after each notch until it comes to the desired range.

 

 

 

 

Embrace >> have patience....my brudder.

AIKON --> Sorry if my sentence is not clear but what I meant is that one should only adjust the idling speed when the bike is fully warm up (as in 4 bars temperature). faham tak..

Stargate >>...me too. must be with them eyes.. http://fool.exler.ru/sm/wow.gif... thanks for enlightening me sire. will take note of that.. http://fool.exler.ru/sm/val.gif

 

 

 

 

.... sorry for being such a idiot with bikes.. i'm very new.. only know how to ride and nothing else haha...

Nejihyuuga >> ... dont say like that, bro. we learn from one another experience in this forum. (ccw) refers to counter clock wise or ( cw) clock wise direction. to look for the idle knob, its on the engine's lower left side. find a small knob with a groove at the centre (for tuning with a screw driver) and serrated surface on the edge (for hand tuning).

haha, i'm not that cornering-crazy lah, purposely go there to try out the cornering, just use whatever corner available on the way home or to office.

yeah our bike should be quite quiet, that's why on monday nite i told you your bike sounded a bit different, rpm too high maybe..

HansallicA >>>> yeah and engine doesn't sound so draggy after i've adjusted the idling rpm.. sounds alright when i hit 110km/h.. previously my engine sounded like it's being abused by me.. haha.. will not abuse my baby anymore.. ride safely is first priority..
